September 26, 2004 – Steelers @ Dolphins

Ben’s first NFL start:

Scrambling out of the pocket in a driving rainstorm produced by outer bands of Hurricane Jeanne at Pro Player Stadium on September 26th, 2004 in Miami.

“We played in a hurricane. I remember it being fast. I don’t think I read any defense all day. I just reacted to everything. It was pretty much a blur to me.” — Ben.

…on the golf course for charity!

From Adam Stites at JagsWire via USA Today:

Jacksonville Jaguars legend Tony Boselli and a yet-to-be-named former Jaguars player will team up on the golf course on Oct. 7 against a pair of former Pittsburgh Steelers led by Ben Roethlisberger, according to the Florida Times-Union.

The Jaguars vs. Steelers showdown on the links is set to happen at the Constellation Furyk & Friends PGA Tour Champions event, which will be held at the Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville.

Boselli, who became a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August, and his Jaguars teammate will be playing for the charity Blessings in a Backpack. Roethlisberger and his yet-to-be-named Steelers teammate will be playing for Beaches Habitat for Humanity.

The pairs will be a nine-hole scramble and will include additional competitions to decide which team earns the most of the $100,000 in charity money up for grabs.

Roethlisberger retired earlier this year after 18 seasons as the Steelers’ quarterback.
